Here’s a clip from last night’s Late Night, where Seth Meyers takes “A Closer Look” at how this week’s news regarding the FBI’s investigation into Trump’s Russia ties overshadowed the confirmation hearing of Trump’s Supreme Court pick Neil Gorsuch, which seems to be the one move by Trump that makes all the Republicans very happy. “Of course, Republicans were probably so giddy during the hearings because they knew they were getting away with one of the greatest thefts in modern politics – the stealing of a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court from President Obama,” Meyers says. “Fundamentally these hearings are awkward because we’re in the unprecedented situation of a president trying to fill a stolen Supreme Court seat while under the cloud of an FBI investigation. If the shoe were on the other foot, Republicans would stonewall for four years.” Watch the full clip above.
